Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are the mainstay of immunosuppression in kidney transplantation. Interpatient variability in the disposition of calcineurin inhibitors is a well-researched phenomenon and has a well-established genetic contribution. There is great diversity in the makeup of African genomes, but very little is known about the pharmacogenetics of CNIs and transplant outcomes. This review focuses on genetic variants of calcineurin inhibitors' metabolizing enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP3A5), related molecules (POR, PPARA) and membrane transporters involved in the metabolism of calcineurin inhibitors. Given the genetic diversity across the African continent, it is imperative to generate pharmacogenetic data, especially in the era of personalized medicine and emphasizes the need for studies specific to African populations. The study of allelic variants in populations where they have greater frequencies will help answer questions regarding their impact. We aim to fill the knowledge gaps by reviewing existing research and highlighting areas where African research can contribute.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 in Romanian Kidney Transplant Recipients: Effect on Tacrolimus Pharmacokinetics in a Single-Center Experience. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1968. [PMID: 38610733 PMCID: PMC11012255 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13071968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This study examines the impact of CYP3A4 and CYP 3A5 genotypes on tacrolimus (Tac) pharmacokinetics in Romanian kidney transplanted patients. Methods: We included 112 kidney recipients genotyped for CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*1.001, and CYP3A4*22. Patients were categorized into poor, intermediate, rapid, and ultra-rapid metabolizers based on the functional defects linked to CYP3A variants. Results: Predominantly male (63.4%) with an average age of 40.58 years, the cohort exhibited a high prevalence of the CYP3A4*1/*1 (86.6%) and CYP3A5*3/*3 (77.7%) genotypes. CYP3A4*1.001 and CYP3A5*1 alleles significantly influenced the Tac concentration-to-dose (C0/D) ratio in various post-transplant periods, while the CYP3A4*22 allele showed no such effect (p = 0.016, p < 0.001). Stepwise regression highlighted the CYP3A4*1.001's impact in early post-transplant phases, with hematocrit and age also influencing Tac variability. Conclusions: The study indicates a complex interaction of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes on Tac metabolism, suggesting the necessity for personalized medication approaches based on genetic profiling in kidney transplant recipients.

Effects of CYP3A4*22 and POR*28 variations on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients: a meta-analysis of 18 observational studies. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:48. [PMID: 38321419 PMCID: PMC10848431 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03467-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4*22 and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR)*28 variations and the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus. METHODS Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science (SCI), MEDLINE, and Embase were systematically searched from inception to August 2022. The outcomes were weight-adjusted daily dose and dose-adjusted trough concentration (C0/Dose). RESULTS The study included 2931 renal transplant recipients from 18 publications. Weight-adjusted daily dose of CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers was 0.04 (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.06), 0.03 (WMD = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.05), 0.02 (WMD = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.03), or 0.02 mg/kg/day (WMD = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.04) higher than CYP3A4*22 carriers in Caucasians at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months post-transplantation. Conversely, C0/Dose was lower for CYP3A4*1/*1 carriers at 3 days (SMD = -0.35, 95% CI: -0.65 to -0.06), 1 month (SMD = -0.67, 95% CI: -1.16 to -0.18), 3 months (SMD = -0.60, 95% CI: -0.89 to -0.31), 6 months (SMD = -0.76, 95% CI: -1.49 to -0.04), or 12 months post-transplantation (SMD = -0.69, 95% CI: -1.37 to 0.00). Furthermore, C0/Dose of POR*1/*1 carriers was 22.64 (WMD = 22.64, 95% CI: 2.54 to 42.74) or 19.41 (ng/ml)/(mg/kg/day) (WMD = 19.41, 95% CI: 9.58 to 29.24) higher than POR*28 carriers in CYP3A5 expressers at 3 days or 7 days post-transplantation, and higher in Asians at 6 months post-transplantation (SMD = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.43). CONCLUSIONS CYP3A4*22 variant in Caucasians restrains the metabolism of tacrolimus, while POR*28 variant in CYP3A5 expressers enhances the metabolism of tacrolimus for renal transplant recipients. However, further well-designed prospective studies are necessary to substantiate these conclusions given some limitations.

The impact of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genetic variations on tacrolimus treatment of living-donor Egyptian kidney transplanted patients. J Clin Lab Anal 2023; 37:e24969. [PMID: 37789683 PMCID: PMC10681408 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus (TAC) is the mainstay of immunosuppressive regimen for kidney transplantations. Its clinical use is complex due to high inter-individual variations which can be partially attributed to genetic variations at the metabolizing enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3, have been reported as important causes of differences in pharmacokinetics that can affect efficacy and/or toxicity of TAC. OBJECTIVE Investigating the effect of CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 SNPs individually and in combination on the TAC concentration in Egyptian renal recipients. METHODS Overall, 72 Egyptian kidney transplant recipients were genotyped for CYP3A4*22 G>A and CYP3A5*3 T>C. According to the functional defect associated with CYP3A variants, patients were clustered into: poor (PM) and non-poor metabolizers (Non-PM). The impact on dose adjusted through TAC concentrations (C0) and daily doses at different time points after transplantation was evaluated. RESULTS Cyp3A4*1/*22 and PM groups require significantly lower dose of TAC (mg/kg) at different time points with significantly higher concentration/dose (C0/D) ratio at day 10 in comparison to Cyp3A4*1/*1 and Non-PM groups respectively. However, CyP3A5*3 heterozygous individuals did not show any significant difference in comparison to CyP3A5*1/*3 individuals. By comparing between PM and Non-PM, the PM group had a significantly lower rate of recipients not reaching target C0 at day 14. CONCLUSION This is the first study on Egyptian population to investigate the impact of CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 SNPs individually and in combination on the TAC concentration. This study and future multicenter studies can contribute to the individualization of TAC dosing in Egyptian patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Inter-individual variability in response to statin was mainly due to genetic differences. This study aimed to investigate the association of CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367), CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with response to simvastatin in hypercholesterolemia patients conducted at King Abdulaziz University hospital (KAUH) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 274 participants were registered in the current study. Hypercholesterolemic patients taking simvastatin 20 mg (n = 148) and control subjects (n = 126) were tested for rs35599367 and rs776746 genotypes using Custom Taqman ® Assay Probes. Response to simvastatin in these patients was assessed by determination of low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC) and by measuring statin plasma levels using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). RESULTS None of the participants carried a homozygous CYP3A4*22 mutant genotype, while 12 (4.4%) individuals had a heterozygous genotype and 262 (95.6%) had a wild homozygous genotype. The CYP3A5*3 allele was detected in the homozygous mutant form in 16 (5.8%) individuals, while 74 (27.0%) individuals carried the heterozygous genotype and 184 (67.2%) carried the wildtype homozygous genotype. Of the patient group, 15 (11%) were classified as intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and 133 (89%) as extensive metabolizers (EMs). Plasma simvastatin concentrations for the combined CYP3A4/5 genotypes were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the IMs group than in the EMs group. TC and plasma LDL-C levels were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in IMs than in EMs. CONCLUSION The present study showed associations between CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367) and CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) SNP combination genotypes with response to statins in hypercholesterolemia. Patients who had either a mutant homozygous allele for CYP3A5*3 or mutant homozygous and heterozygous alleles for CYP3A4*22 showed increased response to lower TC and LDL-C levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interpatient variability in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics is attributed to metabolism by cytochrome P-450 3A4/5 isoenzymes (encoded by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5). Guidelines for adjusting tacrolimus based on CYP3A5 test results are published; however, CYP3A4 variants also contribute to the variability in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. The effects of composite phenotypes incorporating CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 increased (*1G, *1B) and decreased (*22) function variants have not been evaluated. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of both increased and decreased function CYP3A variants on weight and dose-adjusted tacrolimus concentration (C0/D). METHODS We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of lung transplant recipients to evaluate the median tacrolimus C0/D by composite CYP3A phenotype groups during the index transplant hospitalization. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 alleles were used to classify patients into four CYP3A groups from least to most CYP3A activity. Exploratory analyses of ABCB1 and additional candidate genes were also assessed. RESULTS Of the 92 included individuals, most (58) were CYP3A Group 2. The median tacrolimus C0/D differed significantly between CYP3A groups (P = 0.0001). CYP3A Group 2 median tacrolimus C0/D was 190.5 (interquartile range: 147.6-267.5) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg/d) and significantly higher than Group 4 [107.9 (90.4-116.1), P = 0.0001)]. Group 2 median tacrolimus C0/D did not significantly differ from Group 1 and Group 3 [373.5 (149.2-490.3) and 81.4 (62.6-184.1), respectively]. No significant differences in tacrolimus C0/D were found for the ABCB1 diplotypes. CONCLUSION These data indicate that a composite CYP3A phenotype incorporating both increase and decrease variant information from CYP3A4 in addition to CYP3A5 may significantly influence tacrolimus C0/D during the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The single-nucleotide polymorphism CYP3A5 rs776746 is related to a reduction in the metabolizing activity of the CYP3A5 enzyme. People carrying at least one copy of the wild-type allele, defined as CYP3A5 expressers, exhibit higher clearance and lower trough concentrations of tacrolimus than homozygous nonexpressers, and this difference may affect alloimmunization and allograft function. METHODS We retrospectively studied 400 kidney transplant recipients treated with a tacrolimus-based immunosuppression regimen to detect CYP3A5 genotype, de novo formation of HLA antibodies and donor-specific antibodies (DSAs), and clinical outcome up to 5 y after transplant. RESULTS We found that 69 (17%) of the 400 patients were CYP3A5 expressers. During the first 3 y after transplant, CYP3A5 expressers tended to have lower tacrolimus trough levels than nonexpressers, although their tacrolimus dosage was as much as 80% higher. De novo DSAs were found more frequently in CYP3A5 expressers than in nonexpressers (13/69 [19%] versus 33/331 [10%], P = 0.02). De novo DSA-free survival rates (P = 0.02) were significantly lower for expressers than for nonexpressers. CYP3A5 genotype had no effect on allograft failure, but CYP3A5 expressers exhibited a significantly higher frequency of antibody-mediated rejection. CYP3A5 expresser status was an independent risk factor for the development of de novo DSAs (relative risk, 2.34, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Early detection of CYP3A5 expressers, enabling genotype-based dose adjustment of tacrolimus immediately after renal transplant, may be a useful strategy for reducing the risk of de novo DSA production and antibody-mediated rejection.

CYP3A-status is associated with blood concentration and dose-requirement of tacrolimus in heart transplant recipients. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21389. [PMID: 34725418 PMCID: PMC8560807 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00942-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
High inter-individual variability in tacrolimus clearance is attributed to genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A enzymes. However, due to CYP3A phenoconversion induced by non-genetic factors, continuous changes in tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity entail frequent dose-refinement for optimal immunosuppression. In heart transplant recipients, the contribution of patients' CYP3A-status (CYP3A5 genotype and CYP3A4 expression) to tacrolimus blood concentration and dose-requirement was evaluated in the early and late post-operative period. In low CYP3A4 expressers carrying CYP3A5*3/*3, the dose-corrected tacrolimus level was significantly higher than in normal CYP3A4 expressers or in those with CYP3A5*1. Modification of the initial tacrolimus dose was required for all patients: dose reduction by 20% for low CYP3A4 expressers, a 40% increase for normal expressers and a 2.4-fold increase for CYP3A5*1 carriers. The perioperative high-dose corticosteroid therapy was assumed to ameliorate the low initial tacrolimus-metabolizing capacity during the first month. The fluctuation of CYP3A4 expression and tacrolimus blood concentration (C0/D) was found to be associated with tapering and cessation of corticosteroid in CYP3A5 non-expressers, but not in those carrying CYP3A5*1. Although monitoring of tacrolimus blood concentration cannot be omitted, assaying recipients' CYP3A-status can guide optimization of the initial tacrolimus dose, and can facilitate personalized tacrolimus therapy during steroid withdrawal in the late post-operative period.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Liver transplantation (LT) is the only effective radical cure for all types of end-stage liver diseases. Major advances have been made in the field of liver transplantation due to improvements in surgical techniques and organ conservation as well as optimization of intensive care and immunosuppressive management. We aimed to assess the influence of ABCB1 gene polymorphism of liver transplant recipients on blood level and dose requirements of oral tacrolimus, in an attempt to help in designing an individualized tacrolimus regimen for Egyptian liver transplant recipient. The study included 25 liver transplant recipients and their respective 25 donors. All subjects of this study were subjected to full medical history, clinical evaluation, laboratory investigations, and ABCB1 gene polymorphism evaluation by RT-PCR. Tacrolimus concentration was evaluated for all the recipients during the first 3 months post transplantation.
Results
The present study revealed that the presence of CC genotype was significantly correlated to the effect on tacrolimus C/D ratio and weight-adjusted tacrolimus dose during the first week of the first and 2nd months (Z = −2.108, P <0.05) but not the 3rd month post transplantation (p-value >0.05). Subjects carrying CC genotype required higher doses of tacrolimus to achieve the desired trough levels compared to subjects carrying CT and TT genotypes. The same effect was observed over the whole period of the study but the results were statistically non-significant (p-value>0.05). Recipients who received liver tissue from donors carrying CC genotype also required higher doses of tacrolimus and reached lower levels of blood tacrolimus trough levels.
Conclusion
The present study revealed that ABCB1 CC genotype of both recipients and donors of liver transplantation was significantly associated with increased required tacrolimus dose early after liver transplantation reaching statistically significant level in the first week of the first and second months.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important drug metabolizing enzyme in the liver, responsible for the oxidative metabolism of ∼50% of clinically prescribed drugs. Therefore, genetic variation in CYP3A4 could potentially affect the pharmacokinetics, toxicity and clinical outcome of drug treatment. Thus far, pharmacogenetics for CYP3A4 has not received much attention. However, the recent discovery of the intron 6 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs35599367C > T, encoding the CYP3A4∗22 allele, led to several studies into the pharmacogenetic effect of CYP3A4∗22 on different drugs. This allele has a relatively minor allele frequency of 3-5% and an effect on CYP3A4 enzymatic activity. Thus far, no review summarizing the data published on several drugs is available yet. This article therefore addresses the current knowledge on CYP3A4∗22. This information may help in deciding if, and for which drugs, CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing could be helpful in improving drug therapy. CYP3A4∗22 was shown to significantly influence the pharmacokinetics of several drugs, with currently being most thoroughly investigated tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and statins. Additional studies, focusing on toxicity and clinical outcome, are warranted to demonstrate clinical utility of CYP3A4∗22 genotype-based dosing.

Influence of CYP3A polymorphisms on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in kidney transplant recipients. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2020; 21:69-77.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is characterized by a highly variable pharmacokinetics (PK) and a small therapeutic window. It is metabolized specifically by the CYP3A isoenzymes. This study aimed to determine, in kidney transplant patients, the influence of different genotypic clusters involving these SNPs CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A4*22, and CYP3A5*3 on Tacrolimus bioavailability during the first (PTP1) and the second (PTP2) posttransplant phase (PT). We included kidney transplant patients who received Tacrolimus and underwent drug monitoring by C0 monitoring. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotyping were performed using PCR-RFLP. We classified the patients into four groups: Slow, Intermediate, rapid, and ultra-rapid metabolizers. We included 80 patients. The Tacrolimus dose-normalized C0 (C0/D ratio) was significantly decreased in intermediate, rapid, and ultra-rapid comparing with slow metabolisers. During PTP1 only CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22 polymorphisms correlate significantly with C0/D ratio. Regardless of the PT phase and during the late one, only the CYP3A4 polymorphisms correlate significantly with the C0/D ratio. We identified that these SNPs are all associated independently with Tacrolimus exposure in different PT phases. Moreover, we are the first to define a genotypic cluster including the three CYP3A SNPs.

Effect of the Most Relevant CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 Polymorphisms on the Pharmacokinetic Parameters of 10 CYP3A Substrates. Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8040094.

Abstract
Several cytochrome P450 (CYP) CYP3A polymorphisms were associated with reduced enzyme function. We aimed to evaluate the influence of these alleles on the pharmacokinetic parameters (PK) of several CYP3A substrates. We included 251 healthy volunteers who received a single dose of ambrisentan, atorvastatin, imatinib, aripiprazole, fentanyl, amlodipine, donepezil, olanzapine, fesoterodine, or quetiapine. The volunteers were genotyped for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 polymorphisms by qPCR. To compare the PK across studies, measurements were corrected by the mean of each parameter for every drug and were logarithmically transformed. Neither CYP3A phenotype nor individual CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 polymorphisms were significantly associated with differences in PK. However, regarding the substrates that are exclusively metabolized by CYP3A, we observed a higher normalized AUC (p = 0.099) and a tendency of lower normalized Cl (p = 0.069) in CYP3A4 mutated allele carriers what was associated with diminished drug metabolism capacity. CYP3A4 polymorphisms did not show a pronounced influence on PK of the analysed drugs. If so, their impact could be detectable in a very small percentage of subjects. Although there are few subjects carrying CYP3A4 double mutations, the effect in those might be relevant, especially due to the majority of subjects lacking the CYP3A5 enzyme. In heterozygous subjects, the consequence might be less noticeable due to the high inducible potential of the CYP3A4 enzyme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclosporine is used as an immunosuppressive agent in kidney transplantation. It has a narrow therapeutic window. Cyclosporine is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. The most common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting cyclosporine metabolism (CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3) were investigated among Jordanian kidney transplanted patients to find out the genotypes and allele frequencies of these SNPs. Additionally, this study investigated whether genotypes of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 affect C2 blood levels, dosing of cyclosporine and the prevalence of acute rejection. METHODS Blood samples of 109 adult patients taking cyclosporine as their primary immunosuppressant for kidney transplantation were collected from the Prince Hamzah Hospital, Amman, Jordan. Patients' first C2 blood levels and their first two given doses were collected. Patients were genotyped for the four SNPs using Polymerase Chain Reaction- restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay method. RESULTS Allele frequencies among Jordanian patients for CYP3A4*1B, CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 were 0.037, 0.399, 0.037 and 0.271, respectively. There was a significant association between CYP3A4*22 and mean difference in the second and first given doses (P=0.034). There was a big difference between CYP3A4*22 and the mean of the first C2 blood levels (P=0.063). CONCLUSION There was a strong association between CYP3A4*22 and the mean difference between the second and first given doses. There was a trend of significant difference between the mean of the first C2 blood levels among heterozygous CYP3A4*22 patients. Pharmacogenomics may hold promise in assisting the prediction of the best cyclosporine dose and C2 blood level among Jordanian kidney transplant patients.

CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms and their impact on dosage and trough concentration of tacrolimus among kidney transplant patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2020; 20:553-562. [PMID: 31902947 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-019-0144-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 11/29/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug widely used in kidney transplantation. Cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) protein is involved in tacrolimus metabolism. Single nucleotide polymorphism in the CYP3A5 gene (6986A>G) results in alteration in metabolic activity of CYP3A5 protein which eventually affects the tacrolimus concentration. Patients with CYP3A5 expresser genotypes (A/A *1/*1 and A/G *1/*3) metabolize tacrolimus more rapidly than CYP3A5 nonexpressers (G/G *3/*3). We performed meta-analysis to estimate the effect of CYP3A5 polymorphism on the trough concentration-dose ratio (Co/D) and risk of renal allograft rejection with similar post-transplant periods and Asian vs. European populations. Our results showed that the tacrolimus Co/D ratio is significantly lower in CYP3A5 expresser group as compared with nonexpresser in Asian as well as in European populations at any post-transplant period (p < 0.00001). No significant association was found with renal allograft rejection episodes between expressers and nonexpressers in European populations (OR: 1.12; p = 0.47). Interestingly, Asian population (with expresser genotypes) and patients after 3 years post-transplantation (with expresser genotypes) have a higher risk of rejection (OR: 1.62; p < 0.05), (OR: 1.68; p < 0.05), respectively. This could be due to high prevalence of expresser genotypes in Asian population. Few tacrolimus-based studies are identified with long-term graft survival. There is a need to have more studies looking for long-term graft survival in expresser as well as no-expresser groups especially in Asian populations who have high frequency of CYP3A5 functional genotype.

Melding Pharmacogenomic Effect of MDR1 and CYP3A5 Gene Polymorphism on Tacrolimus Dosing in Renal Transplant Recipients in Northern India. Kidney Int Rep 2019; 5:28-38. [PMID: 31922058 PMCID: PMC6943758 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2019.09.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2019] [Revised: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Tacrolimus (TAC) is the mainstay immunosuppressant for renal transplantation. A narrow therapeutic index, multiple drug interactions, and interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics make it obligatory to monitor therapeutic drug levels. The Multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) and CYP3A5 gene polymorphism may blend to achieve the optimal level. The optimal dose as per body weight is difficult to single out in the early posttransplantation period. In this study, we aimed to analyze the melding effect of both gene polymorphisms and to elicit the dose depending on the combination of genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in northern Indian transplant recipients, for whom data are limited. Methods The daily TAC dose, weight-adjusted doses (mg/kg per day), TAC trough blood concentration (average of at least 3 levels), dose normalized with a corresponding dose using TAC concentration/weight-adjusted dose ratio (ng/ml per mg/kg per day) of 248 patients were recorded. All recipients were genotyped for the SNPs of CYP3A5 at intron 3 A6986G (the *3 or *1 allele), MDR1 at exons 12 (C1236T), 21 (G2677A/T), and 26 (C3435T). We analyzed the blending effect of mutant SNPs of the MDR gene and CYP3A5 for optimized TAC levels. Results Among CYP3A5 genotypic variants, the dose-adjusted TAC level was significantly lower, and the TAC dose required to achieve the target level was significantly higher, in CYP3A5*1*1 (expressor) than that of CYP3A5*1*3 and CYP3A5*3*3. Of the MDR1 gene SNPs, only the G2677T/A homozygous mutant was significantly associated with TAC level, and it was strongly correlated with P-gp expression.The daily TAC dose requirement was highest with a combination of CYP3A5*1*1 and homozygous mutant TT+AA genotype of G2677T/A, and was lowest with CYP3A5*3*3 and wild-type GG of the G2677T/A genotype. Conclusion Both CYP gene and MDR1 gene polymorphism affect TAC dose requirements, and there is a need to look for both in an individual to achieve the target trough concentration.

Abstract
Advances in genome science in the last 20 years have led to the discovery of over 50 single gene causes and genetic risk loci for steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Despite these advances, the genetic architecture of childhood steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) remains poorly understood due in large part to the varying clinical course of SSNS over time. Recent exome and genome wide association studies from well-defined cohorts of children with SSNS identified variants in multiple MHC class II molecules such as HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 as risk factors for SSNS, thus stressing the central role of adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of SSNS. However, evidence suggests that unknown second hit risk loci outside of the MHC locus and environmental factors also make significant contributions to disease. In this review, we examine what is currently known about the genetics of SSNS, the implications of recent findings on our understanding of pathogenesis of SSNS, and how we can utilize these results and findings from future studies to improve the management of children with nephrotic syndrome.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the association between donor CYP3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphisms and tacrolimus (Tac)-induced nephrotoxicity and renal function in kidney transplant recipients. Methods: The CYP3A5 6986A>G and ABCB1 3435C>T polymorphisms were determined in 237 recipients and donors. Results: There was no significant association between Tac-related nephrotoxicity and donor CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genotype. The donor ABCB1 3435C>T polymorphism was associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate on day 7 and month 1. The combined donor–recipient ABCB1 genotype (3435C>T polymorphism) was significantly related with estimated glomerular filtration rate on day 3 and 7 in univariate analysis. However, these differences were no longer statistically significant in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: A genetic analysis of ABCB1 and CYP3A5 of kidney transplant donors is not helpful to improve renal transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) are the predominate enzymes responsible for tacrolimus metabolism. The presence of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genetic variants significantly affects tacrolimus clearance and dose requirements. CYP3A5*3 is a loss-of-function variant resulting in no CYP3A5 enzyme production. CYP3A4*22 is a variant that reduces production of functional CYP3A4 protein. Caucasians commonly carry these variant alleles but are very rarely homozygous for both CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A4*22. This report describes four kidney transplant recipients who carry a rare genotype combination (CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A4*22/*22). These patients were identified from a larger cohort of Caucasian kidney transplant recipients (n=1366). To understand the significance of this genotype combination on tacrolimus troughs and doses, we compared these patients to recipients without this combination. Patients homozygous for both variants are at risk for profound reductions in metabolism of CYP3A substrates. A 342% and a 90.6% increase in the median dose-normalized trough was observed, when the CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A4*22/*22 genotype combination was compared to the CYP3A5*1/*1 and CYP3A4*1/*1 genotype combination and the CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A4*1/*1 genotype combination, respectively. These four individuals only required on average 2.5 mg/day of tacrolimus. Knowledge of these genotypes would be useful in selecting appropriate tacrolimus doses to avoid overexposure.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of tacrolimus (TAC) is variable in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome (NS), which might be related to genetic variation among patients. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effects of CYP3 A4, CYP3 A5 and ABCB1 gene polymorphisms on the clinical efficacy of TAC in the treatment of NS patients. Methods 100 NS patients were treated with TAC and prednisone and followed up for 3 months. Genotype differences (CYP3 A4*1G, CYP3 A5*3, ABCB1 1236C > T and ABCB1 2677G > T/A) were detected by Sanger sequencing. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by the 24 h urinary protein quantitation, albumin, renal function and the degree of edema. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of gene polymorphisms on the clinical efficacy of TAC. Results There were 35 patients (35%) with complete remission, 43 patients (43%) with partial remission, 22 patients (22%) without remission, and no patients with recurrence. For CYP3A4, there were 56, 42, and 2 patients with *1/*1, *1/*1G and *1G/*1G genotype, respectively. For CYP3A5, there were 8, 36 and 56 cases with*1/*1, *1/*3 and *3/*3 genotype, respectively. For ABCB1 C1236T, there were 10, 44, and 46 cases with 1236CC, 1236CT and 1236TT genotype, respectively. For ABCB1 G2677 T/A, there were 13, 57, and 30 patients with 2677GG genotype, 2677GT/GA genotype and 2677TT/AA/TA genotype, respectively. The mutant allele frequencies of CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3, ABCB1 C1236T and ABCB1 G2677 T/A were 23%, 74%, 68% and 58.5%, respectively. Results reveal that the gene polymorphisms of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and CCB do not affect the clinical efficacy of TAC. For ABCB1 C1236T,TT genotype can increase the effectiveness 12.085 times compared with CC and CT genotype (P = 0.018, OR = 12.085, 95%CI 1.535–95.148). For ABCB1 G2677 T/A, the clinical efficacy of patients with mutant genotype is 8.683 times than that of wild-type and heterozygous patients (P = 0.042, OR = 8.683, 95%CI 1.080–69.819). Overweight patients can improve the clinical efficacy by 15.838 times (P = 0.020, OR = 15.838, 95%CI1.550–161.788). Conclusions ABCB1 C1236T, ABCB1 G2677 T/A genotype and BMI are probably the factors influencing the clinical efficacy of TAC in treating patients with NS.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that genomic diversity may play a key role in different clinical outcomes, and the importance of SNPs is becoming increasingly clear. In this article, we summarize the bioactivity of SNPs that may affect the sensitivity to or possibility of drug reactions that occur among the signaling pathways of regularly used immunosuppressants, such as glucocorticoids, azathioprine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide and methotrexate. The development of bioinformatics, including machine learning models, has enabled prediction of the proper immunosuppressant dosage with minimal adverse drug reactions for patients after organ transplantation or for those with autoimmune diseases. This article provides a theoretical basis for the personalized use of immunosuppressants in the future.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is prescribed to the majority of transplant recipients to prevent graft rejection, and although patients are maintained on oral administration, nonoral routes of administration are frequently used in the initial post-transplant period. CYP3A5 genotype is an established predictor of oral tacrolimus dose requirements, and clinical guideline recommendations exist for CYP3A5-guided dose selection. However, the association between CYP3A5 and nonoral tacrolimus administration is currently poorly understood, and differs from the oral tacrolimus relationship. In addition to CYP3A5, other pharmacogenes associated with CYP3A activity, including CYP3A4, CYP3A7 and POR have also been identified as predictors of tacrolimus exposure. This review will describe the current understanding of the relationship between these pharmacogenes and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics after oral and nonoral administration.

Abstract
AIM Multiple genetic variants have been associated with variation in tacrolimus (TAC) trough concentrations. Unfortunately, additional studies do not confirm these associations, leading one to question if a reported association is accurate and reliable. We attempted to validate 44 published variants associated with TAC trough concentrations. MATERIALS & METHODS Genotypes of the variants in our cohort of 1923 kidney allograft recipients were associated with TAC trough concentrations. RESULTS Only variants in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were significantly associated with variation in TAC trough concentrations in our validation. CONCLUSION There is no evidence that common variants outside the CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 loci are associated with variation in TAC trough concentrations. In the future rare variants may be important and identified using DNA sequencing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of tacrolimus in paediatric patients at least 1 year after renal transplantation and simulate individualised dosage regimens. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 54 children with median age of 11.1 years (range 3.8-18.4 years) with 120 pharmacokinetic profiles performed over 2 to 4 h. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using the non-linear mixed-effects modelling software (NONMEM(®)). The impact of covariates including concomitant medications, age, the cytochrome P450 (CYP) CYP3A5*3 gene and the adenosine triphosphate binding cassette protein B1 (ABCB1) 3435 C→T gene polymorphism on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics was analysed. The final model was externally validated on an independent dataset and dosing regimens were simulated. RESULTS A two-compartment model adequately described tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. Apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was associated with weight (allometric scaling) but not age. Children with lower weight and CYP3A5 expressers required higher weight-normalised tacrolimus doses. CL/F was inversely associated with haematocrit (P < 0.05) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γGT) (P < 0.001) and was increased by 45 % in carriers of the CYP3A5*1 allele (P < 0.001). CL/F was not associated with concomitant medications. Dose simulations show that a daily tacrolimus dose of 0.2 mg/kg generates a pre-dose concentration (C 0) ranging from 5 to 10 µg/L depending on the weight and CYP3A5 polymorphism. The median area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) corresponding with a tacrolimus C 0 of 4-8 µg/L was 97 h·µg/L (interquartile range 80-120). CONCLUSIONS In patients beyond the first year after transplantation, there is a cumulative effect of CYP3A5*1 polymorphism and weight on the tacrolimus C 0. Children with lower weight and carriers of the CYP3A5*1 allele have higher weight-normalised tacrolimus dose requirements.

Abstract
Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic window and considerable variability in clinical use. Our goal was to compare the performance of multiple linear regression (MLR) and eight machine learning techniques in pharmacogenetic algorithm-based prediction of tacrolimus stable dose (TSD) in a large Chinese cohort. A total of 1,045 renal transplant patients were recruited, 80% of which were randomly selected as the “derivation cohort” to develop dose-prediction algorithm, while the remaining 20% constituted the “validation cohort” to test the final selected algorithm. MLR, artificial neural network (ANN), regression tree (RT), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), boosted regression tree (BRT), support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), lasso regression (LAR) and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) were applied and their performances were compared in this work. Among all the machine learning models, RT performed best in both derivation [0.71 (0.67–0.76)] and validation cohorts [0.73 (0.63–0.82)]. In addition, the ideal rate of RT was 4% higher than that of MLR. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use machine learning models to predict TSD, which will further facilitate personalized medicine in tacrolimus administration in the future.

Abstract
We previously reported that tacrolimus (TAC) trough blood concentrations for African American (AA) kidney allograft recipients were lower than those observed in white patients. Subtherapeutic TAC troughs may be associated with acute rejection (AR) and AR-associated allograft failure. This variation in TAC troughs is due, in part, to differences in the frequency of the cytochrome P450 CYP3A5*3 allele (rs776746, expresses nonfunctional enzyme) between white and AA recipients; however, even after accounting for this variant, variability in AA-associated troughs is significant. We conducted a genomewide association study of TAC troughs in AA kidney allograft recipients to search for additional genetic variation. We identified two additional CYP3A5 variants in AA recipients independently associated with TAC troughs: CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272) and CYP3A5*7 (rs41303343). All three variants and clinical factors account for 53.9% of the observed variance in troughs, with 19.8% of the variance coming from demographic and clinical factors including recipient age, glomerular filtration rate, anticytomegalovirus drug use, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant and antibody induction. There was no evidence of common genetic variants in AA recipients significantly influencing TAC troughs aside from the CYP3A gene. These results reveal that additional and possibly rare functional variants exist that account for the additional variation.

Abstract
AIM Determine the effect of genetic variants of donors and recipients on early renal function and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in kidney transplant recipients. PATIENTS & METHODS We measured CYP3A5 (6986A>G), ABCB1 (3435C>T, 2677G>T/A, 1236C>T) genetic polymorphisms in 120 renal transplant recipients and donors by high-resolution melting curve analysis. The renal function and tacrolimus trough concentrations were analyzed. RESULTS The genotype of CYP3A5 (6986A>G) in recipients showed strong influence on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. The ABCB1 3435 CC genotype in donor was significantly associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration in recipients within 1 month (p < 0.05) and correlated with delayed creatinine recovery (p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 3435 CC genotype in donor influences early renal function and creatinine recovery in tacrolimus-treated kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
Objective Simvastatin is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. A combined CYP3A4/5 genotype classification, combining the decrease-of-function CYP3A4*22 and the loss-of-function CYP3A5*3, has recently been reported. We aim to determine whether CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 alleles are associated with increased plasma concentrations of simvastatin lactone (SV) and simvastatin acid (SVA). This is the first report evaluating associations between in-vivo simvastatin concentrations and CYP3A4*22, alone or in a combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined classification. Participants and methods Genotypes and simvastatin concentrations were determined for 830 participants (555 Whites and 275 African-Americans) in the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenomics clinical trial with 40 mg/day simvastatin for 6 weeks. Concentrations were determined in 12-h postdose samples. Associations between simvastatin concentrations and CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 alleles were tested separately and in a combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined classification system. Results In Whites, CYP3A4*22 carriers (n=42) had 14% higher SVA (P=0.04) and 20% higher SV (P=0.06) compared with noncarriers (n=513). CYP3A5*3 allele status was not significantly associated with SV or SVA in Whites. In African-Americans, CYP3A4*22 carriers (n=8) had 170% higher SV (P<0.01) than noncarriers (n=267), but no significant difference was detected for SVA. African-American CYP3A5 nonexpressors (n=28) had 33% higher SV (P=0.02) than CYP3A5 expressors (n=247), but no significant difference was detected for SVA. For both races, SV appeared to decrease across the rank-ordered combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined groups (poor, intermediate, and extensive metabolizers); however, similar trends were not observed for SVA. Conclusion Genetic variation in CYP3A4 was associated with plasma simvastatin concentrations in self-reported Whites. Genetic variations in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were associated with plasma simvastatin concentrations in self-reported African-Americans.

Abstract
Purpose The once daily formulation of tacrolimus is an important immunosuppressive drug. Interpatient variability in metabolism has been related to genetic variation in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. However, in liver transplantation, both donor and recipient genotypes may affect pharmacokinetics. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 of both donor and recipient on once daily tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. The secondary objective was to develop a limited sampling model able to accurately predict exposure. Methods Stable liver transplant patients receiving once daily tacrolimus (N = 66) were included. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed with patients of whom DNA was available (N = 49), and demographic factors, CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3, were tested as covariates. Moreover, a limited sampling model was developed using data of 66 patients. Results Pharmacokinetics was best described by a two-compartment model with delayed absorption. CYP3A5*1 carrying recipients engrafted with a CYP3A5*1 carrying liver had an average 1.7-fold higher clearance compared to non-carriers. CYP3A5*1 carrying recipients engrafted with a CYP3A5*1 non-carrying liver or vice versa showed an average 1.3-fold higher clearance compared with non-carriers. CYP3A4*22 was not significantly associated with once daily tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. Using 0, 2, and 3 h postdose as limited sampling model resulted in significantly improved prediction of tacrolimus exposure compared with trough concentration. Conclusions Both donor and recipient CYP3A5 genotype significantly influences tacrolimus once daily pharmacokinetics. In contrast, CYP3A4*22 appears not suitable as biomarker. The developed limited sampling model can be used to accurately estimate tacrolimus once daily exposure.

Abstract
Aims: To evaluate the influences of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, MDR1 and NR1I2 polymorphisms on tacrolimus concentration in early postrenal transplant recipients. Patients & methods: A total of 159 patients were included, dose-adjusted tacrolimus trough concentration on day 7 after transplantation (C0D7/D) was calculated and 10 SNPs in four genes were genotyped. Results: CYP3A5*3 explained 32.8% of variability of tacrolimus C0D7/D. CYP3A4*1G, MDR1 1236–2677–3435 diplotype and NR1I2 -25385C > T explained 21.4% of variability of tacrolimus C0D7/D in CYP3A5 nonexpressers. Conclusion: CYP3A5*3 was the predominant determinant affecting tacrolimus concentration. Genotyping of CYP3A4/MDR1/NR1I2 polymorphisms may be helpful for better guiding tacrolimus dosing in CYP3A5 nonexpressers.

Abstract
The clinical use of tacrolimus (Tac) is complicated by the large inter-individual variability in its pharmacokinetics as well as by chronic adverse effects on renal function. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the potential influence of cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP 3A5) and ATP-binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1) gene polymorphisms on Tac dose requirements and dose-adjusted concentrations in different long-term periods following renal transplantation. Another aim was to investigate whether these polymorphisms affect renal function in late post-transplant period. A total of 91 renal transplant recipients were enrolled for genotyping analysis, and 53 of these entered into a pharmacokinetic-pharmacogenetic study. Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction was used for CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphism determination. Pharmacokinetic data (dose, trough concentration and dose-adjusted concentration of Tac) and renal function parameters [creatinine (Cre) clearance and serum Cre level] were analyzed in relation to patient genotype at 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation. Also, linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of CYP 3A5 and ABCB1 genotypes on Tac exposure and renal function up to 24 months post-transplant. Individuals carrying the CYP 3A5*1/*3 genotype had higher Tac dose requirements than CYP 3A5*3/*3 carriers at 6, 12 and 24 months after renal transplantation. The results revealed that ABCB1 polymorphism did not influence Tac dose requirements independently. Regression analysis showed that CYP 3A5 influenced the Tac dose-adjusted concentration as well as renal function up to 24 months post-transplant. These findings confirmed that CYP 3A5 polymorphism represents the most important determinant of Tac dose and exposure in the late period following renal transplantation. Furthermore, the obtained results indicate that the decline in renal function may be more pronounced in patients with CYP 3A5*1 in the long-term period after renal transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pharmacogenomics is the study of differences in drug response on the basis of individual genetic background. With rapidly advancing genomic technologies and decreased costs of genotyping, the field of pharmacogenomics continues to develop. Application to patients with kidney disease provides growing opportunities for improving drug therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Pharmacogenomics studies are lacking in patients with chronic kidney disease and dialysis, but are abundant in the kidney transplant field. A potentially clinically actionable genetic variant exists in the CYP3A5 gene, with the initial tacrolimus dose selection being optimized based on CYP3A5 genotype. Although many pharmacogenomics studies have focused on transplant immunosuppression pharmacokinetics, an expanding literature on pharmacodynamic outcomes, such as calcineurin inhibitor toxicity and new onset diabetes, is providing new information on patients at risk. SUMMARY Appropriately powered pharmacogenomics studies with well-defined phenotypes are needed to validate existing studies and unearth new findings in patients with kidney disease, especially the chronic kidney disease and dialysis population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The association between the CYP3A4*1B single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in different studies is controversial. Therefore, a meta-analysis was employed to evaluate the correlation between the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics at different post-transplantation times in adult renal transplant recipients. METHODS Studies evaluating the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics were retrieved through a systematical search of Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and three Chinese literature databases (up to Sept. 2014). The pharmacokinetic parameters (weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose and tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio) were extracted, and the meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.1. RESULTS Seven studies (involving 1182 adult renal transplant recipients) were included in this meta-analysis. For the weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose, in all included renal transplant recipients (European & Indian populations), CYP3A4*1/*1 recipients required a significantly lower weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose than did CYP3A4*1B carriers at 7 days (WMD -0.048; 95% CI -0.083 ~ -0.014), 6 months (WMD -0.058; 95% CI -0.081 ~ -0.036) and 12 months (WMD - 0.061; 95% CI -0.096 ~ -0.027) post-transplantation. In light of the heterogeneity, the analysis was repeated after removing the only study in an Indian population, and CYP3A4*1/*1 European recipients (mostly Caucasian) required a lower weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose within the first year post-transplantation. The tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio (C0/Dose ratio) was significantly higher in CYP3A4*1/*1 recipients than in CYP3A4*1B carriers at 6 months (WMD 52.588; 95% CI 22.387 ~ 82.789) and 12 months (WMD 62.219; 95% CI 14.218 ~ 110.221) post-transplantation. When the only study in an Indian population was removed to examine European recipients (mostly Caucasian), the significant difference persisted at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-transplantation. CONCLUSION Based on our meta-analysis, the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism affects tacrolimus dose requirements and tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio within the first year post-transplantation in adult renal transplant recipients, especially in European recipients (mostly Caucasian).

Abstract
Tacrolimus requires close therapeutic drug monitoring because of its narrow therapeutic index and marked interindividual pharmacokinetic variation. In this study, we investigated the associations of polymorphisms in the gene encoding 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD11B1) with tacrolimus concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients during the early posttransplantation stage. A total of 258 renal transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus with prednisone (30 mg) combined therapy were genotyped for HSD11B1 rs846908, rs846910, rs4844880, and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms. Tacrolimus trough concentrations were determined on days 6-9 after transplantation, measured by a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Among the CYP3A5 expressers, the dose-adjusted trough concentration (C0/D) of tacrolimus in HSD11B1 rs846908 AA homozygous individuals was considerably lower than found in GG+GA carriers [56.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.7 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0204]; HSD11B1 rs846910 AA homozygotes had a lower tacrolimus C0/D compared with GG+GA carriers [51.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.3 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0367]; carriers with the HSD11B1 rs4844880 AA genotype had a significantly lower tacrolimus C0/D with respect to carriers of TT+TA genotypes [61.3 (23.9-97.5) versus 77.2 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0002]; the HSD11B1 AA-AA-AA haplotype carriers had a lower tacrolimus C0/D than noncarriers [51.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.3 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0367]. These findings illustrate that the HSD11B1 genotypes are closely correlated with tacrolimus trough concentrations, suggesting that these polymorphisms may be useful for safer dosing of tacrolimus.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is a product of fermentation of Streptomyces, and belongs to the family of calcineurin inhibitors. It is a widely used immunosuppressive drug for preventing solid-organ transplant rejection. Compared to cyclosporine, tacrolimus has greater immunosuppressive potency and a lower incidence of side effects. It has been accepted as first-line treatment after liver and kidney transplantation. Tacrolimus has specific features in Chinese transplant patients; its in vivo pharmacokinetics, treatment regimen, dose and administration, and adverse-effect profile are influenced by multiple factors, such as genetics and the spectrum of primary diseases in the Chinese population. We reviewed the clinical experience of tacrolimus use in Chinese liver- and kidney-transplant patients, including the pharmacology of tacrolimus, the immunosuppressive effects of tacrolimus versus cyclosporine, effects of different factors on tacrolimus metabolism on Chinese patients, personalized medicine, clinical safety profile, and patient satisfaction and adherence. This article provides guidance for the rational and efficient use of tacrolimus in Chinese organ-transplant patients.

Abstract
Several candidate genes have been proposed as potential biomarkers for altered pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics of immunosuppressive drugs. However, there is usually only limited clinical evidence substantiating the implementation of biomarkers into clinical practice. Testing for thiopurine-S-methyltransferase polymorphisms has been put into routine clinical use quite widely, while the other pharmacogenetic tests are much less frequently used. Relatively good evidence appeared for tacrolimus-related biomarkers; thus, their utilization may be envisaged in the near future. Although the biomarkers related to mycophenolate, sirolimus or other drugs in the therapeutic class may be promising, further research is necessary to provide more robust evidence. The present review focuses on immunosuppressive drugs, excluding biological treatment.

Abstract
Recent efforts have been made to identify genetic markers of CYP3A4 enzymatic activity within genes encoding for regulatory elements. The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of polymorphism of PPARA and POR genes on tacrolimus (TAC) dose-adjusted trough concentration and risk of new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT). A total of 241 White kidney transplant patients were genotyped for three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms: rs1057868 (*28) in POR, rs4253728:G>A, and rs4823613:A>G in PPARA. No significant genotype-dependent differences in TAC dose-adjusted trough concentration were observed for either POR or PPARA variants. No significant differences in the incidence of NODAT were observed between patients stratified by PPARA and POR genotypes. The frequency of NODAT among PPARA rs4253728 AA homozygotes (42%) was higher compared with heterozygotes (22%) and GG homozygotes (19%), but the difference was not significant. Testing TAC-medicated renal transplant recipients for POR and PPARA variants seems to have limited clinical application.
